I am using xwiki-1.0-rc-1.tar.gz
If I want to use dojo, will my life be easier is if I specify dodo prior to first launch? Because, for example, when I try to edit preferences in Admin mode, all/most of the fields never get repopulated.
For the record I want to say that it is a big mistake to discontinue maintaining and dodo. A very BIG mistake. It is very clean and the header structure is quite MoinMoin like and I think this is a good thing.
As with any open source project, maintainance is done a lot by contributions. If people want to contribute fixes and even improvements for the dodo skin they'll get applied. However it's hard to maintain everything at once and so far you're the ONLY one who prefers the dodo skin to the new albatross skin.
The dodo skin is supposed to be working so if you have any issue let's find what the problems are.
You said below that "you can't even figure out how to get back to the default template". I don't know what you mean by this. Does it mean you don't know how to use the dodo skin? If so you might want to read:
You also mentioned that "some admin portions" are missing. Can you be more specific?
Thanks

I'm new here and I just subscribed to the list. I've investigated several of the Java Wiki packages and I'm focusing on XWiki as the best.
However, the default theme is going to be too heavy for use and I want to use dodo because the header structure is more like MoinMoin in additiion to a few other reasons. However, when I use dodo, it seems kind of hard to get around and seems like some admin portions are even missing - for instance I can't even figure out how to get back to the default template.
Can you give me any advice? What is the version of XWiki before albatross where perhaps dod was beetter maintained integrated? Are there other skins or third-party skins that I should be looking at?
Thanks,
